Spotlight on Tomorrowland at Disney's Magic Kingdom
A view of Astro Orbiter from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
Here's your guide to everything in Tomorrowland
The Magic Kingdom, like other parks, is split up into different sections, each with their own themes and rides. Tomorrowland is the futuristic area of the Magic Kingdom, with rides and attractions themed for outer space and "to infinity and beyond!"

The sign for Space Mountain
at the entrance.
Space Mountain ~ Space Mountain is an indoor roller coaster that sends you into outer space. Complete with galactic stars, music, and sound effects, I found this ride to be a blast! This indoor roller coaster is completely in the dark too, making it quite unique. Though it has a slow speed at less than 30 miles per hour, the darkness makes up for it, since you can't see the dips and turns that come.
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin ~ If you are missing the arcade while you at the Magic Kingdom, just check out the Space Ranger Spin. Sit in a car with a blaster and hit all the targets as you move through this dark ride with fun neon characters and effects. I found the scenes I saw to be quite enjoyable, as well.
Astro Orbiter ~ Have you ever needed to take an elevator to get to your ride? With this rocket themed ride, you board an elevator to reach the loading deck. Once loaded, circle around and get great views of Tomorrowland, and more, while piloting your ship up or down.
Tomorrowland Speedway ~ If you need to relax and take a drive, try the Tomorrowland Speedway. This .4 mile track with all of the race cars can make for an enjoyable experience, while looking at all of the racing mementos on the sides of the track. The 7 miles per hour speed of the cars means you can look at your leisure, while driving along.
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover ~ Get the inside scoop on many of the rides when you take a seat on the PeopleMover. Go through Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and around Tomorrowland, enjoying the views and picture opportunities available! This narrated ride can be quite informational as well.

The Carousel of Progress.
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress ~ This ride, designed by Walt Disney for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City, features a rotating theater around a central stage, showcasing a family and the progress of technology through the decades. Just remember, "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow!"
Stitch's Great Escape ~ Get ready to encounter aliens, and find trouble along the way. Watch Stitch's escape and feel all of the special effects in this dark ride!
Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor ~ When you take a trip to the laugh floor, you enter a comedy club run by... monsters? That's right. Monsters. Following the movie, Monsters Inc., the monsters are working at powering their city, by making the patrons laugh! Find Mike, Roz, and more of the monsters at this comedy club.

Tomorrowland also plays host to some special events in the summer as well as all of the things to do all year. You can go to the Club 626 Dance Party, where you can dance and have fun with different Disney characters and your host is none other than Stitch. If you love to eat sweets, you might also want to try the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party for a dessert buffet and a great view of the fireworks held over the Magic Kingdom.
It is quite easy to spend a lot of time in this area of the Magic Kingdom. It is fun to slip into the future and enjoy the dark rides with the space themes. I would definitely recommend visiting Tomorrowland in your next visit to the Magic Kingdom!
